Cuba is in the second position of American countries in Summer Olympics gold medals (trailing only the United States), and has won more medals than any nation in Latin America and Canada. Cuba has yet to have hosted the Olympic Games. Cuba has won the fourth highest total number of medals (after Hungary, Romania, and Poland) of nations that have never hosted the Games and the highest number of medals amongst countries that have never medalled at the Winter Olympics.
